However Max is adamant and says:
I see what you’re doing, you’re trying to get me excited about this school. I like homeschooling, I get my work done faster, and I don’t have to worry about the other kids slowing me down. I don’t need friends, I have Hank. I’m going to homeschool, and work at Hank’s studio in the afternoon.
With much probing from his parents, Max does attend the first day of school with his peers.
